Why do we celebrate April Fools Day?
2007-03-30 20:00:00
Why do we celebrate April Fool s Day?Truth is we really don't know where the tradition of playing pranks on people came from.There are a few theories floating around though.# When the western world used the Julian calendar, the year began on March 25th because they celebrated the start of a new year with the start of spring. However since that fell in the Holy Week, the celebrated it on the first of April. However when we switched to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500s, we moved the New Year to the first of January. According to the most widely told story, those who still celebrated the New Year on April 1st were called April fools.# The Encyclopedia of Religion and the Encyclopedia Britannica thinks that the timing of April Fool's Day is directly related to the arrival of Spring, when nature 'fools' humans with erratic weather.# The Country Diary of Garden Lore has a theory that April Fools Day commemorates "the fruitless mission of the rook (the European crow) who was sent out ...

YOU Time!!
2007-03-29 18:40:00
This was sent to me by a dear friend, one who reminds me sometimes.. that in all I do I have to take care of myself too! Thank you Randi!Your Most Vital CommitmentFinding Time For YouWithin each of there is a well of energy that must be regularly replenished. When we act as if this well is bottomless, scheduling a long list of activities that fit like puzzle pieces into every minute of every day, it becomes depleted and we feel exhausted, disconnected, and weak. Refilling this well is a matter of finding time to focus on, nurture, and care for ourselves, or "you time." Most of us are, at different times throughout the day, a spouse, a friend, a relative, an employee, a parent, or a volunteer, which means that down time, however relaxing in nature, is not necessarily "you time." Though some people will inevitably look upon "you time" as being selfish, it is actually the polar opposite of selfishness. We can only excel where our outer world affairs are concerned when our own spiritual...

How to keep your spirit up despite the daily headlines.
2007-03-28 22:57:00
Excerpted from "Everyday Grace," published by Riverhead Books.It is a spiritual challenge to hear the news and still keep your faith.Surrounded by terrible news, we are tempted to feel powerless before the strength of darkness. And yet we are not powerless, for we are children of an infinitely wealthy father who has shared with us the prosperity of His kingdom. Our primary task is to remember that it's ours. Through God, we have the power to use our spiritual resources to banish all darkness -- to transform our world from a state of limitation and fear to a state of abundance and love. For the world is a reflection of humanity's collective consciousness, and each of us has access to the collective through the auspices of our own mind.Viewing life through the eyes of the world, we learn about a world that is; viewing life through the eyes of spirit, we learn about a world that could be. It is a law of consciousness that what we think about expands: Our focus amounts to a mental end...

Listen to your Soul Soul energy, which is the motivation of our whole essence, is what we should beaware of as we journey through life. The knowing that we open up to whilst stilling our minds shows us our true path. It can be linked into through meditation and if we make that a part of our everyday life the soul will lead us down the right path for each of us as we all have our individual road to travel.The twist and turns that occur in our lives are there for a reason and by tuning intoour soul knowing they become apparent. If we stand back and view our lives from anoutsider’s perspective everything becomes clearer. Achieving the discipline to meditate is the first step to gaining a more peaceful and contented life whilst inthe human form.Meditating and emptying the mind of all our emotional needs clears the debris, whichbogs us down. Once experienced it gives us the incentive to learn more about ourselves as a spiritual being. It does not make us perfect for what is perfection? ...

You Have a Gift
2007-03-28 19:40:00
It has been said that everyone has something to give. Something that can be shared with their fellow human beings over and over again. Something whose supply is never depleated, but constantly replenished as it is given away.And it costs nothing to give.What could that be? Remember that you must phrase your answer in the form of a question.I hope you all got it. It’s as simple as falling off a log.It is a SMILE.Did you know there are fewer facial muscles used with less energy expended in the formation of a smile than there is in the forcing of a frown?A warm, sincere smile, genuinely shared almost always results in the spontaneous eruption of more smiles in it’s immediate surroundings.Once given, smiles can travel for miles and miles without significant interruption.And smiles con even be passed along while sight unseen, through the sharing of heart-felt thoughts and wishes by various media.A smile is a very powerful tool with a very powerful effect. Realize fully that power w...
